The problem I recently reported in SD 6.0.7 (6A217) does not occur in SD 7.0 (7A17). Now I get a “Signaled when the runtime stack overflows (errOSAStackOverflow:-2706)” when I try to save after a changing the text in the SD file.

I just started using SD 7.0 but one thing I noticed was when I launched 7A17 the “Open Recent” menu item showed no recent files even though the Script Debugger 6 showed many recent files.

That’s correct — they’re quite seperate apps.

BBEdit recognizes old files from previous versions in recent files. FileMaker Pro does as well. I can’t say they all do but I have seen a number of them. However it is a situation that would only come up soon after upgrading so it is not a big deal.

The difference is that SD versions have separate IDs (com.latenightsw.ScriptDebugger6 and com.latenightsw.ScriptDebugger7), whereas BBEdit uses com.barebones.bbedit regardless of the version (I presume FileMaker does the same). There are pros and cons to both approaches.

I forgot about SD versions having different IDs. That would definitely make them different applications. Thanks.
